Plus seems like AA should be responsible first.
You make the purchase when you need it. Under the Montreal Convention, AA is liable for lost/delayed baggage to a maximum of XRD1131 ( approx $1564 )

If you have insurance tha covers it, I would just claim off the insurance and then let the insurance company deal with AA
